Understanding Civil-Military Interaction

Lessons Learned from the Norwegian Model

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Understanding Civil-Military Interaction provides a novel examination of civil-military interaction in particular between militaries and humanitarian actors, in light of the so-called 'Norwegian model' that espouses a clear divide between political and humanitarian actors (or military and civilian - the model is in fact unclear), while maintaining a tight coordination between them. Using a multi-actor security framework, this book examines whether the Norwegian government is correct in its assumptions about both the model and civil-military knowledge amongst military personnel and concludes that the Norwegian model is a well-meaning but inefficient and problematic model in reality.
